Default Custom paragraph numbering

I've written an Excel function in VBA to create a numbered paragraph list.
I'd like use the same format for numbered lists in Word. How? I've done very
little VBA in Word, but am very proficient with Excel VBA. Do I have to
create a Word addin or are there simple ways to at the numbering format to a
template or what?

Default Custom paragraph numbering

In Word, it would be easier to create a paragraph style that includes
numbering. Or you could use one of the built-in styles that are numbered,
such as List Number. It can be modified to suit your needs.

Default Custom paragraph numbering

Regretably the standard formatting options do not accomodate the numbering
required for a Work Breakdown Structure and/or for leading zeros in a
numeric numbering system. The Excel function works great, but I'd like to
provide an option to do this numbering in Word. I presume that I can create a
similar macro in Word, but I have not written code for Word for years.
Obviously it has changed so I am looking for tips on how to do it and where
to get help.

Default Custom paragraph numbering

One leading zero is supported: you can choose the "01,02,03,..." format. If
you want more leading zeros you should be able to use SEQ fields.

Which format are you trying to accomplish, exactly?
